Thoughts on Asus P67 Sabertooth?

[Deleted member 74752]

The only negative mb I have tried is the AsRock Extreme 6...just as capable as any but requires horrendous vcore just to boot into Windows.

Looks like a good board that biostar.

I've got a board on the way from ASUS, might be the Sabertooth...not too sure what they sent me yet, but I'm hopnig to be able to add something a little more meaty here real soon.

I'm upgrading to a Sandy Bridge cpu soon and was checking out motherboards.

The Asus Sabertooth has me intrigued. I really like the design, and it seems like it would help with cooling as well. Anyone have any comments/thoughts on the board?

I've always gone with Gigabyte in the past, but with Asus offering some nice mobos, along with the visual bios, I might have to go with them this round.

On a side note, I picked up this RAM on sale for $75 off newegg the other day:

Looks like it should work fine with the Sabertooth board, and P67 chipsets in general?

Thanks for any help!

I'm late to this party, but still wanted to pitch in how much I love my Sabertooth P67. I've been a big Gigabyte fan as well, but Asus really outdid Gigabyte this round. The hardware itself between both brands is dead even for quality, but Gigabyte has nothing to match against Asus's version of eUFI. Gigabyte uses a hybrid UFI/bios that is primitive compared to the Asus full on eUFI implementation. The Asus eUFI GUI is honestly the slickest thing I've seen in a pre-OS environment yet. I remember a time not so long ago when the OS wasn't even this fancy!

I love the "Thermal Shield" thingy. It does work, and work well. Granted, I'm using an extra 50mm fan in the slot for it, so that's making things a bit cooler. But what I really love is being able to muck about in my tower to change something and not worrying about anything slipping and damaging the motherboard. As a protection from Klutz-itas (the disease of terminal klutziness), it's worth it's cost on that alone. But then getting into the military grade components, I'm ex-military so that appeals to me greatly. All together, the Sabertooth P67 is the nicest all around package yet in a motherboard I've had the pleasure to work with.
